Fair comment, but I don't think I was trying to compare it to the Range, or
even wanted it to be the Range. If anything I feel like adding semi-aggressive
parts to this bike made it try to be something it wasn't, but I also think if
it had a slightly more fork travel it would've made it much more capable at
speed and descending, without really giving up too much in terms of climbing
and tight trails, etc.
With a 150/130 travel adjust fork I think the Sight could easily go head to
head with the Trance SX or Altitude which while shorter travel trail bikes,
are seriously capable when things do get rowdy.
